Mike Smith and Philipp Grubauer have excelled for the Flames and Avalanche, respectively. Smith has a 1.40 goals-against average and .954 save percentage in the series, including a 26-save shutout in Game 1, and is 11-1-4 with a 2.08 GAA, .931 save percentage and two shutouts in his NHL career against Colorado.
Grubauer has a 2.36 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. He was 7-0-2 with a 1.63 GAA and .953 save percentage in his last nine regular-season starts.
"Absolutely, I tried to carry it over from the regular season, the way I played," Grubauer said. "I didn't change anything, I try to play the same way, prepare the same way. I think the last five games of the regular season show how you're going to go into the playoffs and we did a really good job."
